Slim Chickens announced today its new restaurant opening at 1005 Beltline Rd SE, 35603. Spearheaded by the established operator Simply Slims, this is the group’s fourth location in Alabama.

“We’re so grateful for the dedication of the Simply Slims team in satisfying Alabama fans with this new location,” said Jackie Lobdell, Vice President of Franchise Development at Slim Chickens. “Now, the community in Decatur will be able to savor our mouthwatering chicken paired with a variety of house-made dipping sauces, whether it’s to-go or dining in. It’s an honor to have established operators like Simply Slims.”

Slim Chickens offers high-quality food and 17 house-made dipping sauces, allowing customers to enjoy a different flavor profile with each visit. Its menu is broader than many in the segment, offering chicken tenders, fresh salads, sandwiches, chicken and waffles, chicken wings, and unique side items.

“We are honored on behalf of the people who have enabled us to be the brand we are today and who continue to share southern hospitality and fresh, delicious chicken to new communities across the globe. There are a lot of opportunities domestically and internationally, and we are eager to bring on and support multi-unit restaurant operators like Simply Slims and celebrate their continued success,” said Sam Rothschild, COO of Slim Chickens.
